Sefaria — Rashi on Ki Sisa 33:1

Core Text — Rashi on Ki Sisa 33:1
לך עלה מזה. אֶֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל גְּבוֹהָה מִכָּל הָאֲרָצוֹת, לְכָךְ נֶאֱמַר עֲלֵה; דָּ"אַ, כְּלַפֵּי שֶׁאָמַר לוֹ בִּשְׁעַת הַכַּעַס "לֶךְ רֵד" אָמַר לוֹ בִּשְׁעַת רָצוֹן "לֵךְ עֲלֵה" (תנחומא): אתה והעם. כָּאן לֹא נֶאֱמַר וְעַמְּךָ:

English: לך עלה מזה GO, GO UP HENCE — The land of Israel is situated higher than all the other neighbouring lands, therefore it said “go up” (Zevachim 54b). Another explanation is: As a compensation for what He had said to him (Moshe) in a time of anger, (Exodus 32:7) “Go, go down”, He now said to him, at a time of good-will, “Go, go up”. אתה והעם THOU AND THE PEOPLE [WHICH THOU HAST BROUGHT UP] — Here — (in contrast to Exodus 32:7) it does not say “and thy people” (the mixed multitude which thou, of thine own accord, hast brought up from Egypt) (Midrash Tanchuma 3:9:26).
